Brass Fittings Bronze Hex Nipple NPT Male Pipe Fitting

This bronze hex nipple is an NPT male pipe fitting. It joins two female-threaded pipe connections, or connects a pipe run to a female port. Both ends have male NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads. A hex center section gives you a wrench flat for tightening and removal. Plumbers also call it a hex nipple, hex pipe nipple, or male-to-male pipe adapter.

Key Features:

• Bronze construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and fluid-handling applications
• Male NPT threads on both ends for tapered, sealed pipe connections
• Hex body for secure wrench grip during installation
• Compact design for tight spaces and short connections between fittings, valves, or equipment

Installation Notes:

• Use a thread sealant or PTFE tape suited to your application on the male threads
• Tighten with a wrench on the hex flats. Do not over-tighten, because this can damage the threads or the mating part.

This hex nipple line is a dependable choice for general plumbing, water, and fluid-transfer connections. It is also useful for shop and equipment plumbing where you need a durable metal threaded connection.
